Dental Paleopathologies in the Sanders Site (41LR2) Population from Lamar County, Texas
SFA ScholarWorks, 1993Co-Authors: Wilson DianeAbstract:Dental health, like skeletal health, reflects the natural and social environment, as well as genetics. This paper focuses on the results of stress on the teeth once they have erupted; stresses include chemical, mechanical, and pathogenic forces. These forces are primarily the result of dietary factors. The specific aspects of Dental health examined in this paper are cariogenesis, Dental Attrition, antemortem tooth loss, and abscessing. These Dental paleopathologies primarily reflect diet and food processing strategies. Throughout the Americas, Dental disorders have increased with the adoption of maize agriculture. Reliance on maize provides a sticky, carbohydraterich dietary staple that is favorable to microbial attack. Maize cultivation has been ... correlated with an increase in caries and abscess frequency. Poor Dental health also may directly impact general physical health. Periodontal disease often results in gingival inflammation, abscessing, and tooth loss. Lesions in the mouth can be the port of entry for pathogens, such as staphylococci and streptococci, that may then travel to other parts of the body. Dental Attrition is not considered a disorder in this paper, but the natural result of a diet high in unprocessed vegetal materials and grit. Grit is introduced into the diet from a variety of means, but I will focus on the introduction of grit through stone grinding implements. Sand particles can also result in a considerable amount of Attrition. Dental Attrition can, however, lead to pathologies if the pulp cavity is exposed. In this case, the pulp cavity may serve as the focus of infection, resulting in abscessing and eventual tooth loss. Dental health is thus largely dependent on dietary factors. The examination of Dental health is useful in reconstructing nutritional behaviors. It will be seen in this examination of the teeth that the maize agriculturalists at the Sanders site were primarily affected by a high frequency of caries. Other factors examined (moderate Dental enamel Attrition, slight antemortem tooth loss, and slight abscessing) suggest that dietary behaviors were not as detrimental to the Sanders population as has been noted for other maize-dependent agricultural groups. If nutrition was related to status among Caddoan groups, this may be the result of the assumed high status of the individuals interred at the Sanders site, since all the individuals were interred in a mound context

Studi patologi dan kultural pada 19 gigi lepas dari kotak TP GEO IV situs Gunungwingko
Balai Arkeologi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, 2019Co-Authors: Prayudi Ashwin, Suriyanto, Rusyad AdiAbstract:Gunungwingko is an archaeological site located in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province. This site was used from 0 AD to 17th century. In 1978 excavation, there were 19 isolated teeth found in excavation box T.P. Geo. IV from 170 – 220 cm in depth. The objective of this research is to identify Minimum Number Individual (MNI), and also their influences to health status and cultural point of view. The method being used for this research is bioarchaeological method with macroscopic analysis. We concluded that the MNI is four individuals based on four third left maxillary molars. Dental diseases such as Dental Attrition, Dental caries, enamel hypoplasia, chipped tooth, and buccal pit can be observed in some of the teeth. Moreover, cultural influences also can be found in some of the teeth in form of Dental modification (pangur) and betel chewing. One of the teeth showed evidence of multiple Dental modification which possibly happened because of adulthood ceremonial and matrimonial/death ceremonial

Pacientes com desgaste dentário e tratamento com prótese fixa
[s.n.], 2013Co-Authors: André António Sousa Da ,costaAbstract:Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina DentáriaO desgaste dentário é reconhecido como um problema dentário em crescendo de etiologia não cariosa, resultando da ação isolada ou conjunta dos seguintes fatores etiológicos: atrição, abrasão e erosão. Existe também as lesões de abfração, este fator etiológico não é aceite universalmente. O desgaste dentário pode ser considerado fisiológico ou patológico. O desgaste fisiológico, dito “normal”, ocorre ao longo da vida do individuo, não necessitando de tratamento. No desgaste patológico verifica-se um aumento da perda de estrutura dentária para além do normal, necessitando de uma abordagem terapêutica preventiva e restauradora. O aumento da esperança média de vida leva a que um maior número de indivíduos mantenha as suas estruturas dentárias por mais tempo, logo, os dentes encontram-se sujeitos a um maior desgaste. As alterações sofridas nas estruturas dentárias têm repercussão ao nível funcional e estético, associado eventualmente a sintomatologia. O tratamento restaurador é inevitável em muitas das situações, podendo passar pela dentisteria adesiva, prótese removível ou prótese fixa. A utilização de restaurações indiretas para tratamento de dentições desgastadas constitui uma das opções terapêuticas utilizadas, este tipo de tratamento fixo pode passar pela utilização de facetas, onlays/overlays e coroas convencionais. Este trabalho consiste numa revisão bibliográfica que tem como objetivos: descrever os diferentes fatores etiológicos associados ao desgaste dentário e principais fatores precipitantes; estabelecer as características clínicas associadas, permitindo realizar o diagnóstico diferencial; descrever as abordagens terapêuticas preventivas e restauradoras; e ainda, descrever a utilização de restaurações indiretas no tratamento do desgaste dentário. A pesquisa foi realizada via online através do Google, B-on, SciELO, Medline/PubMed e Bristish Dental, foram utilizadas as seguintes palavras-chave: wear tooth, Dental abrasion, Dental Attrition, Dental erosion, tooth wear treatment, tooth wear and protheses fixed, veneers, onlays/overlays, conventional crowns, restorative materials. Manualmente, foi realizada uma pesquisa nos seguintes livros: Dental Erosion: From Diagnosis to Therapy e Tooth Erosion: Prevention and Treatment. The tooth wear is an increasing Dental problem of non-carie etiology, resulting from the single or combined action of the following etiologic factors: Attrition, abrasion and erosion. There are also lesions by abfraction, but this etiologic factor is not universally accepted. Dental wear may be considered physiologic or pathologic. Physiologic wear, the so called “normal”, takes place throughout the life of the individual, not being necessary treatment. In the pathologic wear there is an abnormal loss of the Dental structure, requiring a preventive and restorative therapeutic approach. An increase in the life expectancy, leads to that a larger number of people maintain their Dental structures for a longer time, therefore, teeth are exposed to more wear. The changes suffered in the Dental structures have repercussion at a functional and esthetic level, eventually associated to symptoms. The restorative treatment is inevitable in many situations, may having to go through the adhesive dentistry, protheses removable or fixed. The use of indirect restorations in the treatment of worn dentition, consists in one of the therapeutic options used, this type of fixed treatment may go through the use of veneers, onlays/overlays and conventional crowns. This paper consists in a bibliographic review that has as objectives: describing the different etiologic factors associated to tooth wear and main cause factors; establishing the clinical characteristics associated, being able to do a differential diagnosis; describing the preventive and restorative therapeutic approaches; and also, describing the use of indirect restorations in the treatment of tooth wear. The research was made online through: Google, B-on, SciELO, Medline/PubMed and British Dental, there were used the following key-words: wear tooth, Dental abrasion, Dental Attrition, Dental erosion, tooth wear treatment, tooth wear and protheses fixed, veneers, onlays/overlays, conventional crowns, restorative materials. Manually the research was done through the following books: Dental Erosion: From Diagnosis to Therapy e Tooth Erosion: Prevention and Treatment

Enamel mineral loss
Journal of Dentistry, 2014Co-Authors: N. X. West, Andrew JoinerAbstract:Objectives To summarise the chemical, biological and host factors that impact enamel mineral loss, to highlight approaches to contemporary management of clinical conditions involving mineral loss and summarise emerging trends and challenges in this area. Data sources "Medline" and "Scopus" databases were searched electronically with the principal key words tooth, enamel,∗mineral∗, caries and erosion. Language was restricted to English and original studies and reviews were included. Conference papers and abstracts were excluded. Conclusions Enamel mineral loss leads to the degradation of the surface and subsurface structures of teeth. This can impact their shape, function, sensitivity and aesthetic qualities. Dental caries is a multifactorial disease caused by the simultaneous interplay of dietary sugars, Dental plaque, the host and time. There is a steady decline in Dental caries in developed countries and the clinical management of caries is moving towards a less invasive intervention, with risk assessment, prevention, control, restoration and recall. Tooth wear can be caused by erosion, abrasion and Attrition. Dental erosion can be the result of acid from intrinsic sources, such as gastric acids, or extrinsic sources, in particular from the diet and consumption of acidic foods and drinks. Its prevalence is increasing and it increases with age. Clinical management requires diagnosis and risk assessment to understand the underlying aetiology, so that optimal preventative measures can be implemented. Overall, prevention of enamel mineral loss from caries and tooth wear should form the basis of lifelong Dental management. Evidence based oral hygiene and dietary advice is imperative, alongside preventive therapy, to have a healthy lifestyle, whilst retaining hard tooth tissue.
